I am a Mosquito
Seven hundred thousand people a year die because of me. Most casualties are the result of me infecting people with the Dengue Virus or the Malaria parasite. These diseases are hard to fight because of lack of medication and resources.
Mosquitos are more dangerous then we think they are. Up until now we are not able to stop them from spreading deadly diseases. The biggest reason for this is that we do not know how to prevent ourselves from being stung by mosquitos. If we would understand a mosquito we would know how to prevent them from stinging.
